Chelsea continue pre-season training in Los Angeles

"Last season was difficult because I was tired. It is easy to say that now. But even when I am not at the maximum level I want to play well.

"I was injured, not a big injury, but it is not easy to play with a small problem in England because the game is very hard. But I played a very bad season."

Hazard also admits that he is happy at Chelsea and wants to win more titles before he leaves the club in the future.

He said: "I said that after a season like that I wanted to stay at Chelsea because I didn't want to finish like that.

"When I was in France at Lille, I finished my last game with them with a hat-trick. That was a good time to leave. If I must leave Chelsea one day, I hope I can finish well here - and be a champion again."

After a disappointing campaign at Euro 2016 for Belgium, Hazard can't wait to start the season under new boss Antonio Conte.

"We (Belgium) played well. I had hoped that with that team we could win the tournament, but we lost in the quarter finals," he said.

"We gave everything but it wasn't enough.

"I am ready(for this season). The injury has gone. Training has been hard, but we've got to be ready.

"The new manager is good. He talks a lot to the players.

"It is completely different now. We're almost ready. And we can't wait for the season to start."
